USDA LAUNCHES SOYBEAN RUST WEBSITE

A one-stop resource, which will be updated as new information becomes available

In response to the recent introduction of Phakospora pachyrhizi, or soybean rust, into the United States, USDA facilitated the development of a federal, state, university and industry-coordinated framework for surveillance, reporting, prediction, and management of soybean rust for the 2005 growing season.

The purpose of this Web site is to support the goals of the coordinated framework and to provide stakeholders with timely and accurate information for managing soybean rust this year.
